Let the Tooth be told!

THANK YOU JESUS! That first tooth is finally through. I have been running on very little sleep for about two weeks now, but it has finally poked it's sharp, gum hurting way through Micah's very tender pink little gums! Yes, yes, yes! It happened two nights ago. I put him to bed just waiting for him to wake up and hour later but it didn't happen. He slept for quite a while before waking me to eat. Then he ate and went right back to bed. I have gotten some rest finally. Boy you don't realize how much you need to sleep until you really go without it. I have felt very good the past 2 days.

As a matter of fact, I got even more sleep last night when Micah only woke up once to eat and we had time change! I AM THE QUEEN OF THE WORLD!

Marcus and I had the nursery at church this morning and things went eerily smooth. Three 6 month old baby boys and one 15 month old girl and everything went well. We even had 3 of the kids asleep for half of the service.

Days have been going good, it makes me wonder what the devil is going to throw my way! Isn't that bad to think like that? Can't help it though.

Have You Ever Loved A Man...

Have you every loved a man so much it made you want to cry? Have you ever loved a man so much you saw past his imperfections? Have you ever loved a man so much that he made you tingle without a touch? Have you ever loved a man so much that you would give up your dreams to be with him? (Not that he would ask if he loved you too) Have you ever loved a man so much that in your minds eye you could see what he looks like 40 years from now? Have you ever loved a man so much that you knew, without a doubt that you would be by his side 40 years from now? Have you ever loved a man so much that you put your heart and soul into him? Have you ever loved a man so much that you see his love without him telling you? Have you ever loved a man so much that it didn't matter what other people said? Have you ever loved a man so much for who he can be as well as who he is? Have you ever loved a man so much that a single touch from him could send you to the moon? Have you ever loved a man so much that when you turned over in the night and he wasn't by your side you went to look for him? Have you ever loved a man so much that when you turned over in the night and he wasn't by your side you rolled over with a peaceful reasurance that he was nearby? Have you ever loved a man so much that you knew you wanted to bear his children? Have you ever loved a man so much that you were thrilled to see your son mimicing his daddy? Have you ever loved a man so much that you loved to see the fact that your sons are the spitting image of their father? Have you ever loved a man so much that when he spent too much time away from you, you missed him? Have you ever loved a man so much that you LOVED to make love to him? (Sorry mom) Have you ever loved a man so much that you laid in bed and watched him sleep at night? Well, for all of you who have loved a man this much...this is the man that I love that much!

Hoops for Heart

Today is the day that Ryane has been looking forward to for about 3 weeks now. Today she gets to

play basketball to raise money for the American Heart Association. Basically this is how it will go down, a bunch of 4th graders will meet in the school gym and shoot aimlessly at the basketball goal. They don't have to make the shots just shoot Hoops, which I think is great. She collected $53 with help from her daddy. [which means he took her money form to work with him] She is so excited. She got to participate last year but it was called Jump for Heart and it went down the same way, only they jumped rope or just jumped in place. They were all so cute out there jumping around. I can't wait to see her today. It's not that she can play basketball at all, it's just the idea that she wants to participate in events like this. She is not going in this without a game plan though, the other day she came home and said that Rowland showed her how to play. Rowland is a little boy in her class at school.

She is proudly doing this today in honor of Grandma Dot.

That's a good part of my day that I get to look forward to. The bad part that I am not looking forward to is Micah's Flu Shot. He does ok with shots but I just hate having to get him any shots. His cry is just so pitiful. Speaking of pitiful cries, that is all I hear when I go to church now, him crying from the nursery. He doesn't want anything or anybody (including daddy), just mommy. And honestly, he stops crying when I go in there. I don't know what to do. He is not the kind of baby who will quit crying after a few minutes. It's like a crescendo, before long I have people looking at me during the service shooting me the "go get your kid look". The nursery workers are all getting frustrated because my kid is the only one who crys. There are two other babies in there his age that don't cry. One was even extremely collicy and he doesn't cry like Micah does...What is a mother to do?

One Fine Evening...

Ok, this is it...my first blog ever! I am a blog virgin! It feels so naughty but so nice. Bear with me as I fiddle my way through the ins and outs of a bloggers life.

What a long day it has been! No telephone, I thought no computer but was wrong, a horrendous sinus headache...the kind that comes with nausea, a teething baby, a nursing teething baby, sore nipples, no time to myself, no leaving the house, nothing to eat for dinner, ARRRG! Need I go on?

The house is in a quiet hush right now...Micah is softly slumbering in his crib, Ryane and Gracie are asleep piled up in their bed, Devin unfortunately is at his other mommy's house, and Marcus is watching TV. The only sounds to be heard in the house are the low murmur of the tv, the rattle of the jeans in the dryer and the clickety clack of the keyboard on which I am typing. This is one of my favorite times of day, only problem is I need to be sleeping myself because Micah will be waking up to nurse in just a few short hours. But I must stay up for a few minutes to enjoy the few minutes that I get.

So on that note, I am going to get off of the computer and kiss my husband goodnight, peek into the kids room to make sure all is well and tuck myself into bed. Goodnight all.
